Should Poundland Ban Nutters?

14Sep17

Britain’s budget shop, ‘Poundland’ has been hit with a backlash because it sells Peanut M&M knock-offs called ‘Nutters’.The packets have three peanut-shaped cross-eyed cartoon characters on them with their mouths wide open.

Mental health campaigners say that they are “offensive” and have called for Poundland to stop selling them.

We live in a strange world where mental illness is used as a marketing tool. Most local radio DJs are peanut shaped, have their photo taken crosseyed with their mouth wide open and love being called, “bonkers”.
